PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -During hemodialysis, your blood goes through a filter, called a dialyzer, outside your body. A dialyzer is sometimes called an “artificial kidney.” At the start of a hemodialysis treatment, a dialysis nurse or technician places two needles into your arm.

Detailed explanation-2: -The artificial kidney, also known as the dialyzer, is a specialized form of filter used in hemodialysis for purifying the blood of patients whose kidney(s) has lost the ability to filter blood and excrete nitrogenous wastes.

Detailed explanation-3: -During haemodialysis your blood goes through a special machine called a ‘dialyser’. The machine removes waste and extra fluid from your blood before pumping it back into your body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The machine filters your blood through a dialyzer, also known as an artificial kidney, with built-in safety checks to be sure the process is safe and effective. Home and in-center hemodialysis machines are very similar in function, though the home machine is much smaller.
